I enjoyed the game. It has a great atmosphere and the level design is top notch (it is an Arkane game afterall). All the characters are entertaining, unique and very well voice acted. The banter between Colt and Juliana is always fun to listen to.

The best thing about the game is its presentation & soundtrack. The art sytle is beatiful and detailed. There are also these very stylish, animated cinematics that are all very well done. The soundtrack is BEAUTIFUL. It really captures the whole vibe of the game and enhances it.

The combat is fun but flawed, mostly because of the AI (it's not the smartest). What makes it fun are the weapons - there aren't that many of them, but they are all different and serve their own playstyle. Same goes for the abilites. What I really liked is that it doesn't matter if you choose a stealthy aproach or go guns blazing - there are no consequences like in the Dishonored series.

The overall story is OK. Personally I found the lore of Blackreef much more interesing, but you have to find it yourself (mainly through notes and audio-logs), as it's not really that much connected to the main story.
